Do tert-hexyl bromide and 2-Bromo-2-methylpentane refer to the same substance?

Yes. These names describe the same chemical structure and correspond to the same CAS number, indicating identical substance identity.

Is 2-Bromo-2-methylpentane typically used as an industrial intermediate?

It is commonly applied as an intermediate in organic synthesis processes, particularly where tertiary alkyl halides are required for reaction pathway development.

2-Bromo-2-methylpentane CAS 4283-80-1

2-Bromo-2-methylpentane is a tertiary alkyl bromide used as an organic synthesis intermediate, typically involved in nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions within controlled chemical processes. As a structurally defined bromoalkane (CAS 4283-80-1), it serves as a reactive intermediate for carbon–carbon bond formation and functional group transformation in fine chemical and pharmaceutical process development. Industrial supply is available with competitive factory pricing, support for customized specifications, and complete documentation including MSDS, TDS, COA, enabling bulk supply for standardized manufacturing operations.

Organic synthesis:
Participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions as substrates or reactants (such as replacing bromine atoms with other functional groups).
Used for constructing carbon carbon bonds, such as generating more complex organic molecules through alkylation reactions.
Alkylation reagents:
Transfer alkyl groups in a specific chemical process to form a new carbon skeleton

Storage conditions

Environmental requirements
It should be stored in a cool, dry, and well ventilated warehouse, away from sources of fire and heat.
Avoid direct sunlight and it is recommended to store in a sealed container.
Isolation measures
Store separately from oxidants and strong acid substances, and mixing storage is strictly prohibited.
The storage area should be equipped with emergency containment materials for leaks (such as sand).

Safety precautions

Skin and eye irritants may cause allergic reactions.
Avoid inhaling steam or coming into contact with the skin. Wear protective gloves, goggles, and lab coats during operation.
Keep away from heat sources and open flames to prevent the release of toxic hydrogen bromide gas at high temperatures.
